Many leading writers of the day, from Ernest Hemingway to Gertrude Stein, consider Shakespeare and Company a second home.

The Ghost Tattoo discovering the hidden truth of my father’s Holocaust by tony Bernard The profoundly moving story of a son’s quest to uncover his father’s Holocaust secret. To the outside world, Henry Bernard was a hard-working and beloved family doctor on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Yet he was also a Holocaust survivor whose life was profoundly affected by the experiences of his past. He took extreme steps for his family’s security, keeping a rifle near his bedroom and covering up his family’s Jewish origin. He was obsessed with paying off debt - the German word for debt being the same as the word for ‘guilt’. He kept his striped Auschwitz uniform with a picture of his mother in his wardrobe. These obsessions helped destroy his marriage and restricted any hope he had of conventional domestic happiness. But Henry had a bigger secret and a deeper shame about what he had done during the war. He suffered privately until he began returning to Germany and Poland to confront his past and come to terms with the deaths of his parents and of Halina, the love of his life. The Ghost Tattoo is the story of how Tony Bernard, Henry’s eldest son, went on a forty-year journey with his father to solve the mystery of why Henry was the way he was, and how he finally came to understand the desperate choices Henry had made in the ghetto to try to keep himself and his family alive. The Embroidered Book by Kate Heartfield A sweeping historical epic with a thread of magic, perfect for readers of THE FAMILIARS, THE BINDING, and THE MINIATURIST. ‘Power is not something you are given. Power is something you take. When you are a woman, it is a little more difficult, that’s all’ 1768. Charlotte arrives in Naples to marry a man she has never met. Two years later, her sister Antoine is sent to France to marry another stranger. In the mirrored corridors of Versailles, they rename her Marie Antoinette. But the sisters are not powerless. When they were only children, Charlotte and Antoine discovered a book of spells - spells that seem to work, with dark and unpredictable consequences. In a world of vicious court politics, of discovery and dizzying change, Charlotte and Antoine use their secret skills to redefine their lives, becoming the most influential women of the age. But every spell requires a sacrifice. As love between the sisters turns to rivalry, they will send Europe spiralling into revolution. Brimming with romance, betrayal, and the hidden power of women, THE EMBROIDERED BOOK reveals and reimagines a dazzling period of history as you have never seen it before. Dancing with the Machine adventures of a rebel by Jo Morgan Extraordinary escapades from a late-life adventurer. Mountaineer, adventurer, avid motorcyclist and constant traveller, Jo Morgan has lived an extraordinary life. The youngest of eight children, Jo was brought up largely by her mum after her father died when she was only one, and she has always had an adventurous side. As soon as she turned 15, Jo got her driver licence and bought her first motorbike: the start of a lifelong love affair. After meeting her future husband, Gareth Morgan, Jo got married and had a baby. Instead of settling down, though, the couple bought a passenger bus to live in with their children, setting the scene for a life less ordinary. Jo, along with Gareth and friends, has driven a motorbike through more than 110 countries and visited nearly 140 countries in total. But she would leave her greatest adventures till later in life when she took up climbing in her late fifties. She set herself a goal of summiting all 24 of New Zealand’s 3000-metre-plus mountain peaks, with the help of her guide and friend Wolfgang, nicknamed The Machine. They would ascend all but two of them before tragedy struck, killing both Wolfgang and his colleague Martin. In Dancing with the Machine, Jo recounts the remarkable, often hair-raising and occasionally tragic story of her unconventional life. 1000 PIECE JIGSAW PUZZLES $19 99 ea 2 fOR $ 30 1005 Ferry rd Ph 384 2063 CLOSED SUNDAY while stocks last (see instore for terms and conditions) Please stay saFe everyone!

Thursday March 24 2022 7 Fearless approach clocks up the runs Heathcote’s hard-hitting Dan Stanley played with future Black Caps as a member of New Zealand’s under-19 squad for the 2016 World Cup, and now his representative ambitions have been reignited through belligerent batting displays in the Christchurch premiership competition. Chris Barclay reports HE TAKES guard and the field automatically retreats on his leg side at St Albans Park, even though Heathcote were on the back foot, three down inside 11 overs. Dan Stanley’s reputation preceded him to the wicket last Saturday, five balls into his innings there were five Lancaster Park players on the boundary, not that it proved a deterrent for Christchurch Metro premiership cricket’s leading run scorer. The 25-year-old ran the gauntlet, as he has throughout the season, his third scoring shot was a lofted six down the ground before he bisected two of the boundary riders for four. Then it was over – a skied swipe was taken by Oscar Wilson as Lancaster Park’s players sighed with relief. Stanley scored 13 from seven balls – including a streaky french cut – to list his season aggregate to 1014 runs, comfortably a career best. Quizzed on the cornerstones of this season’s run glut, the apprentice builder offered a couple of explanations “I’d say it comes down to playing with freedom, I suppose fearlessness helps.” ‘Being aggressive has always been part of my game’ – Dan Stanley Likewise, his occupation. “I think that might have been a key to my concentration as well. I reckon I’ve also developed a shovel shot, through the constant shovelling as an apprentice,” he said. That new weapon has been a significant contributor to one of Stanley’s eye-catching stats as the 2021-22 season has one day – presumably one last knock – remaining on Saturday. Leading into the final day against Lancaster Park, the left hander had slugged 67 sixes; Wilson was the closest challenger with 32. “A lot of that’s down to the slog sweep shovel shot I’ve got going on,” said Stanley, who also boasted the highest strike rate per hundred balls this season, 146.77 before the final round of the two-day competition got under way. He needs 31 runs on Saturday to eclipse Wilson’s aggregate of 1044 last season and regardless of whether he posts the highest tally since statistics combined the one and two-day formats (and then T20) in 1981-82, the campaign has been an individual triumph. Stanley comfortably posted a career high, exceeding last season’s 769 at 32.04, the fourth time he has amassed more than AGGRESSIVE: Heathcote batter Dan Stanley’s attacking mindset has enabled him to surpass 1000 runs in the Christchurch premiership grade for the first time. PHOTO: JOHN COSGROVE 500 runs since 2017-2018. Scott Duggan (Lancaster Park) is the second highest run scorer with 750 while Stanley’s average (48.28) is not inflated by not outs, he has only one from 22 innings. Centuries haven’t provided an outlier either, Stanley has made two 100s with a best of 138, a blistering 75-ball assault including 16 boundaries and seven sixes against East Christchurch Shirley in the rain-shortened two-day game at Heathcote Domain in November. “Being aggressive has always been part of my game, but it’s been a good season,” said Stanley, who switched from Old Boys Collegians last season because he was living with family in Heathcote. South African-born Stanley, who moved to New Zealand as a five-year-old, now hopes weight of runs translates to winter training in the provincial A team set-up for the former Canterbury under-17 and under-19 representative. “I’d like to be in that set-up, hopefully one-day I’ll get an opportunity, it’s something I’ve strived for,” said Stanley, who played in the same under-19 NZ team as future Black Caps Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra and Finn Allen at the World Cup in 2016. Heathcote coach Mark Lane believed promotion was warranted. “If he’s given the opportunity at the level above he has the potential to step up and do well. He’s putting runs together more consistently and he’s proven he has the ability to be a big hitter and score quickly,” said Lane, who coached Stanley in the Christchurch Boys’ High School first XI. “It’s now up to the Canterbury selectors to say: ‘Do we give this guy a go and see whether he can make the jump to the next level?’.” “You don’t come across batsmen like that often. He’s just got such power.” North-facing dream Perfectly positioned for all-day sun, this studio apartment opens onto our beautiful indoor atrium.
